I've seen several + or - 100k mile cars sell in the mid to high 20s and although some or most of them might have had nicer leather & carpet, few had documentation and almost none had rebuilt engines and transmissions (I think many people are way overselling the term "unmolested"), and many were white (no thanks).

If it had been as good as advertised - paint, tranny, clutch and all - it would have been a phenomenal deal at $29k, especially buying from a dealer who probably doesn't even get out of bed for less than 20% profit.
As you describe it - rough engine, bad tranny and clutch, messy interior, seepage etc. - I think that's lower than $26k, but given that you clearly know how to work on the car, that helps a lot.
